If I was exposed to HIV and tested negative about a month later, does that mean taking Prep is not doing much for me? I was prescribed to take it for a month and test next month and in 3 months. Since I tested negative that far out I’m wondering if I have a high chance of staying negative since I’m on prep too or is it kinda useless for me bc the exposure was a month ago? The person that exposed me to HIV was told by the drs that he’s high risk, so that gives me anxiety on what my next 2 test results will say

I just got a call from my friend the other day and he was crying and told me that the dr called him and said he tested positive for HIV… so me being the person he had mostly unprotected sex with multiple times, I freaked tf out, bc wdymmm 😭😭 Like I asked at the beginning if he was clean and he said yeah, but that’s where I made a mistake. I should’ve asked to see his test results before we indulged in sex. My dumbass was so quick to believe him and I shouldn’t have. When he said he was clean it was bc he thought he was 😭 He hadn’t tested in years and didn’t think about how some STDs/STIs are silent/asymptomatic. I know he didn’t mean to potentially pass HIV to me and I can tell he feels really guilty about it. I tested yesterday and am just waiting on results, but I’m scared on what the result will be. Poor guy called out of work for the rest of week because he feels so bad about everything. But I’m also aware that it’s no excuse for him to have went so long without testing while he was sexually active so I did get on him about that. I just hope I come out negative and it turns out he got a false positive bc ain’t no way.

[[ UPDATE ]] I am HIV negative but Hep A ab and B surface antibody reactive. If anyone knows much about them please let me know but from what I’ve googled it says body has fought the infection off and I’m now protected? I don’t recall if I’ve ever taken an HPV vaccine when I was in school

I just received a call yesterday from a friend that I used to have mostly unprotected sex with. They just told me that they got a call from the dr saying they have HIV. That scared tf out of me bc wdymmm?!? I just feel so stupid bc at first I was firm on using condoms for sex and then at one point my dumbass was like “I trust you to not get me pregnant you can go raw” and I wanted it. My mistake was thinking that he was clean without asking about his test results. Apparently he hasn’t tested since he became sexually active and now I feel that I have fucked up my life. This was the 2nd person I engaged in sex with and I feel so stupid for just believing that he was clean bc I swear he told me he got checked out awhile back when he told me someone tested positive for gonnorhea. I’ve been testing negative for HIV before but I hadn’t retested less than a year. i had literally made an appointment for the next month just to have a check up and then I get this call and now I’m like fuck I need to test NOW. He told me they’re going to have to do more tests first if to confirm if he def has it or what type he has but I’m so scared to find out if I caught it from him. I don’t know if it even helps that he always pulls out and has never nut in me but I’m yeah I’m having a lot of anxiety and I test in a few hrs.
